CIRCULAR 


FOR  1873-74. 


ESTABLISHMENT  AND  AIMS  OF  THE 
UNIVERSITY. 

This  institution  is  established  in  accordance  with  an  Act  of  Congress, 
making  a grant  of  land  as  an  endowment  for  its  benefit,  and  in  accord- 
ance with  an  Act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  this  State,  carrying  out 
the  object  of  said  grant.  According  to  the  language  of  the  grant,  utlie 
leading  object  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific  and  classical 
studies,  and  including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches  of  learning 
as  are  related  to  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic  Arts,  in  order  to  promote 
the  liberal  and  practical  education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several 
pursuits  and  professions  of  life;’5  or,  changing  the  order  of  statement, 
the  chief  aim  of  the  University  is,  “the  liberal  and  practical  education 
of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions  of  life;” 
and  in  order  to  this  end,  the  University  is  “ to  teach  such  branches  of  learn- 
ing as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  without  exclud- 
ing other  scientific  and  classical  studies,  and  including  military  tactics.” 
The  military  tactics  are  required,  and  the  scientific  and  classical  studies 
are  permitted.  Such,  at  least,  we  believe,  is  the  common  construction 
of  those  clauses,  though  the  language  may  not  unreasonably  be  under- 
stood to  imply  that  the  latter  studies  shall  not  be  excluded  from  the 
course.  The  aim  of  the  University  is  to  comply  strictly  with  the  Acts 
of  Congress  and  the  General  Assembly  of  this  State  in  providing  for 
and  establishing  it. 

It  proposes,  thererfore — 

1st.  To  impart  a knowledge  of  science  and  its  application  to  the  arts 
of  life. 

2d.  To  afford  to  students,  such  as  may  desire  it,  the  benefits  of  daily 
manual  labor.  This  labor  is  to  some  degree  remunerative.  But  its 
remunerative  character  is  not  so  much  intended  to  lessen  the  expenses 
of  students  as  for  educational  uses,  as  it  is  planned  and  varied  for  the 
illustration  of  the  principles  of  science.  The  preservation  of  health, 


12  ARKANSAS  INDUSTRIAL  UNIVERSITY. 


and  of  a taste  for  the  pursuits  of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic  Arts, 
are  two  other  important  objects. 

3d.  To  prosecute  experiments  for  the  promotion  of  Agriculture  and 
Horticulture. 

4th.  To  provide  the  means  of  instruction  in  military  science ; and  to 
this  end  skilled  instructors  and  suitable  military  implements  will  be 
secured  and  obtained  as  soon  as  practicable. 

5th.  To  afford  the  means  of  a general  and  thorough  education  not 
inferior  to  those  afforded  to  all  classes  in  the  best  of  colleges. 

LOCATION. 

The  Arkansas  Industrial  University  is  pleasantly  located  within  the 
corporate  limits  of  the  town  of  Fayetteville,  Washington  county.  This 
location  is  thought  to  be  unsurpassed  by  any  other  locality  in  the  State 
in  salubrity  of  climate,  beauty  of  surrounding  scenery,  fertility  of  soil, 
variety  and  perfection  of  agricultural  and  horticultural  productions  and 
the  morality  and  intelligence  of  its  people. 

BUILDINGS,  &e.  • 

The  buildings  now  in  use  are  comfortable  and  convenient.  They  are 
well  furnished,  and  could  be  made  to  accommodate  three  hundred 
students. 

The  contract  has  been  let  and  work  commenced  on  the  permanent 
building,  which  is  a brick  edifice,  five  stories  high,  214  feet  in  length, 
with  a depth  in  the  wings  of  122  feet. 

It  contains  five  large  halls  for  library,  cabinets  and  museums ; thirty 
class  rooms,  and  several  large  halls  for  literary  societies,  etc.  The 
building  will  be  completed  by  September,  1875. 

TERMS  AND  VACATIONS. 

The  Academical  Year  of  the  University,  with  its  several  departments, 
is  divided  into  three  terms,  which  are  denominated  Autumn,  Winter 
and  Spring ; and  the  year  will  begin  with  the  opening  of  the  Autumn 
term.  The  Autumn  term  will  continue  fourteen  weeks,  the  Winter  and 
Spring  terms  will  continue  thirteen  weeks  each,  and  there  will  be  one 
long  vacation,  commencing  at  the  close  of  the  Spring  term  and  continu- 
ing to  the  opening  of  the  Autumn  term,  including  the  whole  of  August 
and  the  greater  parts  of  July  and  September;  and  two  short  vacations

ARKANSAS  INDUSTRIAL  UNIVERSITY.  13 


CALENDAR  FOR  1873-74. 

The  Autumn  term  will  commence  on  the  22d  of  September,  1873, 
and  close  on  the  19th  of  December,  1873.  The  Winter  term  will  com- 
mence on  the  29th  of  December,  1873,  and  close  on  the  27th  of  March, 
1874.  The  Spring  term  will  commence  on  the  6th  of  April,  1874,  and 
close  on  the  3d  of  July,  1874. 

PROPERTY  AND  FUNDS. 

The  property  of  the  University  consists  of  the  proceeds  of  the  muni- 
ficent grant  of  land  by  Congress;  the  bonds  of  Washington  county  and 
town  of  Fayetteville;  the  appropriations  made  by  the  State,  and  the 
University  Farm  and  lands,  amounting  in  all  to  $355,000  in  value. 

EXPERIMENTAL  FARM. 

An  experimental  farm,  of  excellent  character,  has  been  provided, 
immediately  contiguous  to  the  University,  for  agricultural  and  horticul- 
tural purposes.  The  labor  system  will  be  voluntary,  and  students  will 
not  labor  exceeding  three  hours  per  day,  Saturdays  excepted.  Com- 
pensation for  labor  will  be  from  five  to  fifteen  cents  per  hour,  according 
to  ability. 

The  present  crop,  including  the  orchard  and  garden,  and  all  mechan- 
ical and  other  work,  has  been  done  exclusively  by  the  students,  under 
the  supervision  of  the  faculty.  To  such  as  were  painstaking  and  skillful, 
this  labor  was  remunerative  to  such  a degree  as  to  enable  many  to  pay 
their  way  wholly,  or  in  part,  by  it;  but  in  this,  as  in  all  other  duties, 
the  student  is  made  to  feel  that  his  success  depends  upon  his  own  thrift 
and  industry. 

BENEFICIARIES. 

It  is  provided  in  Section  18,  of  the  Act  of  the  General  Assembly 
establishing  the  University,  that  the  Board  of  Trustees  shall  have 
power  to  “prescribe  the  grade  and  number  of  honorary  scholarships, 
and  prescribe  the  rules  by  which  scholars,  who  are  to  be  admitted  free, 
shall  be  elected  equally  from  the  various  parts  of  the  State.”  They 
have,  therefore,  made  provisions  for  two  hundred  and  thirty-seven  bene- 
ficiaries, who  will  be  entitled  to  four  years  free  tuition,  and  who  are 
apportioned  among  the  several  counties  according  to  their  respective 
populations  by  the  United  States  census  of  1870,  which  apportionment 
is  as  follows:

The  County  Superintendents,  hereafter,  shall,  in  the  appointment  of 
beneficiaries,  perform  the  duties  heretofore  required  of  Circuit  Super- 
intendents. 

The  beneficiaries  will  be  appointed  as  follows:  By  the  Governor  of 
the  State,  ten,  not  to  exceed  two  in  any  one  county;  by  the  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction,  five,  not  to  exceed  one  in  any  one  county, 
provided,  he  shall  not  be  entitled  to  make  any  appointments  by  virtue 
of  his  being  ex-officio  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees ; by  each 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  four,  to  be  selected  from  his  district. 
The  County  Superintendents  of  Public  Instruction  are  authorized  to 
appoint  the  residue  of  beneficiaries  from  their  respective  counties,  pro- 
vided no  appointment  shall  be  made  in  any  county  exceeding  its  quota, 
as  above. 

The  Governor  of  the  State,  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction, 
and  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  should  complete  their  appoint- 
ments, and  notify  the  County  Superintendents  of  Public  Instruction 
thereof  twenty  days  before  the  opening  of  the  Autumn  term  of  each 
year.  The  County  Superintendents  should  complete  their  appointments 
by  the  opening  of  the  Autumn  term.  Persons  entitled  to  make 
appointments  will  prepare  duplicate  notifications  of  appointments,  one 
of  which  will  be  forwarded  to  the  President  of  the  University,  and  one 
to  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  And,  in  case  the  appointee 
fails  to  appear  at  the  University  within  twenty  days  after  the  commence- 
ment of  the  Autumn  term  (except  in  case  of  sickness),  he  will  be 
regarded  as  having  declined  his  appointment ; in  which  case  it  will  be 


ARKANSAS  INDUSTRIAL  UNIVERSITY.  15 


the  duty  of  the  President  of  the  Faculty  to  notify  the  person  making 
such  appointment,  who  will  make  another  appointment,  as  soon  there- 
after as  possible  ; and  such  other  appointee  will  be  required  to  appear  at 
the  University  on  the  first  day  of  the  next  term.  The  President  of  the 
Faculty  shall  continue  to  notify  appointing  officers,  till  their  respective 
number  of  appointees  make  their  appearance  at  the  University. 

TUITION. 

Beneficiaries  and  Normal  students,  upon  entering  the  University,  will 
pay  a matriculation  fee  of  $5.  This  entitles  them  to  free  tuition  for 
four  years  if  Beneficiaries,  and  three  if  Normal  students. 

Students  other  than  Beneficiaries  and  Normal  students,  whether 
residents  or  non-residents  of  the  State,  will  be  charged  $10  tuition  per 
term  in  the  Collegiate,  and  $7  per  term  in  the  Preparatory  Department. 

MILITARY  DEPARTMENT. 

Provisions  have  been  made  for  instruction  in  military  science  and 
tactics ; and  all  able  bodied  male  students  will  be  required  to  drill  twice 
a week.  It  is  expected  that  an  officer  of  the  United  States  Army  will 
take  charge  of  this  department  the  coming  year. 

A uniform  has  been  prescribed  for  the  male  students,  which  will 
consist  of  a suit  of  cadet  gray  mixed  cloth,  of  the  same  color  and 
quality  as  that  worn  at  West  Point,  and  manufactured  by  the  same 
establishment,  and  a cap  of  dark  blue  cloth,  ornamented  with  the  initials 
A.  I.  U.  and  surrounded  by  a silver  wreath  in  front.  This  uniform  will 
not  be  required  to  be  worn  the  coming  year,  with  the  exception  of  the 
cap.  Arrangements  will  be  made  by  which  students  can  obtain  the 
uniform  cap  on  their  arrival  at  the  University,  at  or  near  cost ; and  also 
the  entire  suit,  if  desired.

By  the  Act  of  the  General  Assembly,  carrying  into  effect  the  Act  of 
Congress  making  the  grant  for  the  Industrial  University,  it  was  provided 
that  there  should  be  a Normal  Department  therein.  A Normal  Depart- 
ment has  been  therefore  established  in,  or  in  connection  with  the 
University.  This  Department  is  now  fully  in  operation,  and  is  designed 
to  furnish  a thorough  course  of  instruction  to  all  those  who  desire  to 
engage  in  the  profession  of  teaching  in  the  public  schools. 

The  courses  of  study  and  training  in  this  Department  are  separate 
and  distinct  from  the  University  courses,  the  great  aim  being  the  educa- 
tion of  teachers. 


QUALIFICATIONS  FOR  ADMISSION. 

Applicants  for  admission  must  be  of  good  moral  character,  and 
must,  if  males,  be  sixteen,  if  females  fourteen  years  of  age ; also,  they 
must  pass  a satisfactory  examination  in  the  common  English  branches. 

Applicants  who,  upon  examination  by  the  faculty,  are  found  not 
qualified  to  enter  the  Normal  Department,  may  be  placed  in  the  Pre- 
paratory Department ; and  upon  their  entering  into  a written  obligation 
to  take  a Normal  course  with  a view  of  qualifying  themselves  as  teachers, 
after  the  completion  of  their  preparatory  course,  their  tuition  shall  be 
free. 

Those  who  may  not  be  able,  in  the  opinion  of  the  faculty,  to 
prepare  themselves  for  the  Normal  Department  by  one  year’s  study  in 
the  Preparatory  Department,  shall  not  be  entitled  to  free  tuition 
therein. 

TRAINING  SCHOOL. 

A Training  School  has  been  established  in  the  Preparatory  Depart- 
ment, where  students  in  the  Normal  Department  will  be  required  to 
put  in  practice  the  theories  taught  them,  under  the  direct  supervision  of 
a training  instructor.

In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  educational  facilities  in  this  State  have 
been  and  are,  with  the  exception  of  a few  favored  localities,  such  that 
young  persons,  desirous  of  a collegiate  or  normal  education,  have  been 
and  are  unable  properly  and  sufficiently  to  prepare  themselves  to  enter 
the  Industrial  University  or  Normal  School  therein,  there  has  been 
established,  in  connection  with  the  University  and  Normal  School,  a 
Preparatory  Department.  This  is  intended  to  be  auxiliary  to  the  higher 
departments,  and  especially  to  prepare  pupils  who  may  enter  it  for  those 
departments.  This  Department  is  under  the  general  supervision  of  the 
Faculty  of  the  University  and  Normal  Department.  Beneficiaries, 
who,  upon  an  examination  by  the  faculty,  may  be  found  not  qualified 
to  enter  the  Industrial  University,  may  be  placed  in  the  Preparatory 
Department,  as  beneficiaries ; but  the  time  spent  by  them  in  this  depart- 
ment will  be  deducted  from  the  four  years’  free  tuition  to  which  they 
are  entitled  in  the  University  by  virtue  of  their  appointments.

Many  letters  have  been  received  asking  how  far  a student  can  pay 
his  way  by  labor — what  our  labor  system  is — what  is  the  design  of  the 
Normal  Department — what  is  the  price  of  board,  tuition,  books,  etc. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  answer  these  inquiries  in  this  circular,  1 
and  one  will  be  sent  in  reply  to  such  letters  hereafter,  unless  a written 
answer  seems  to  be  required. 

Board,  in  private  families  in  Fayetteville,  can  be  had  for  $100  to 
$120  per  year. 

A beneficiary  or  Normal  student  pays  $5  matriculation  fee.  After 
this  his  tuition  is  free. 

All  others  pay  $20  to  $30  per  year  for  tuition.  $10  to  $20  per  year 
will  be  needed  for  books  and  stationery. 

The  books  used  in  the  University  can  be  bought  in  Fayetteville  at 
publishers’  prices.  Students  should  bring  with  them  such  books  as  they 
have,  for  reference. 

Students  can  wear  such  clothing  here  as  they  have  been  accustomed 
to  at  home.  Cleanliness,  neatness  and  comfort  only  will  be  required. 

While  it  is  true  that  several  students  have  paid  their  way  while  in 
school  by  labor,  it  is  not  a safe  dependence.  It  has  been  done  by  the 
closest  economy  and  the  most  determined  thrift. 

The  energy  and  economy  necessary  to  carry  such  through  their  course  j 
should  be  used  in  the  first  place  in  providing  a small  amount  of  money 
to  start  with.  An  unlimited  amount  of  remunerative  labor  cannot  t 

be  promised,  though  as  much  as  possible  will  be  provided  for  such 
students  as  have  a mind  to  use  it  to  accomplish  the  two  ends  for  which 
it  is  furnished. 

The  Normal  Department  is  designed  solely  for  the  education  of 
teachers ; either  those  who  have  begun  to  teach,  or  young  persons 
who  desire  to  begin  to  fit  themselves  for  teaching.  No  one  has  a right 
to  free  tuition  in  this  department,  who  does  not,  in  good  faith  and  with 
proper  motives,  intend  to  make  teaching  his  profession. 

It  is  admitted  that  a doctor  or  lawyer  should  have  some  training  or 
preparation  to  be  successful  in  his  profession,  and  schools  for  this 


34  ARKANSAS  INDUSTRIAL  UNIVERSITY. 

purpose  have  been  established.  Thoughtful  parents  are  beginning  to 
feel  that  teachers  also  need  preparation  for  their  work,  and  they  are 
demanding  men  and  women  of  the  best  talents  and  character  and  the 
highest  culture,  as  the  teachers  of  their  children.  It  is  to  meet  and 
encourage  this  want  that  the  Normal  Department  is  established. 

DISCIPLINE. 

If  our  students  are  to  become  valued  and  noble  citizens,  they  need  to 
learn  self-government  and  to  conform  their  conduct  to  the  laws  of  their 
country  and  to  the  usages  of  good  society,  more  than  they  need  to  learn 
science.  Students  must  not  expect  to  be  governed,  but  to  govern  them- 
selves. It  is  no  part  of  the  duty  of  the  faculty  to  act  the  part  of 
policemen  or  spies  upon  the  conduct  of  students.  With  the  instructions 
they  receive,  those  who  care  and  try  can  be  gentlemen.  Those  who  do 
not  care  nor  try  need  not  come,  for  they  will  not  be  permitted  to  remain 
as  students. 

It  will  not  be  enough  for  a student  to  order  his  conduct  well  during 
school  days  and  while  upon  the  college  premises.  The  every  day  life  of 
the  student  must  give  evidence  of  growth  in  manly  virtue  and  scholarly 
attainments.  The  widest  personal  freedom  will  be  accorded  to  every 
one  to  do  all  that  is  good  and  right,  and  the  fullest  opportunity  and 
the  most  abundant  material  possible  will  be  furnished  for  this  right 
doing,  but  whatever  is  unmanly  and  lowers  one  s self-respect  will  not  be 
tolerated. 

Loitering  in  the  streets  and  shops,  the  contracting  of  debts,  and  the 
spending  of  money  foolishly,  the  use  of  profane,  indecent  or  ungentle- 
manly  language,  all  forms  of  dissipation,  the  spending  of  time  in  any 
place  or  in  any  company  whose  influence  does  not  lead  to  a higher  and 
better  life,  are  some  of  the  things  which  must  be  avoided  by  students. 

In  short,  we  expect  every  student  to  see  to  it  that  every  act  of  his 
does  honor  to  himself  and  to  the  University  ; to  let  his  highest  ambition 
and  aim  be  to  accomplish  some  noble  purpose,  both  while  a student  and 
through  life. 

Absolute  promptness  in  attendance  and  in  the  performance  of  all 
duties  will  be  required,  not  more  for  the  good  of  the  School  than  for 
its  value  to  the  student,  as  a habit. 

Besides  the  regular  work  of  the  day,  two  to  three  hours  of  study,  at 
night,  will  be  required  of  adult  students,  in  good  health. 

Students  should  enter  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  (Sept.  22),  but 


ARKANSAS  INDUSTRIAL  UNIVERSITY.  35 


if  this  is  impossible,  they  should  enter  at  the  beginning  of  some  term, 
as  classes  cannot  be  formed  during  term  time. 

All  students  will  be  required  to  enter  upon  some  regular  course  of 
study,  and  they  will  not  be  permitted  to  depart  from  that  course,  except 
for  good  reasons. 

Absence,  except  for  unavoidable  causes,  or  leaving  without  the  consent 
of  the  faculty,  will  forfeit  the  student’s  membership. 

LITERARY  SOCIETY. 

There  is  one  Literary  Society,  the  “ Clariosophic,”  established, 
which  is  sustained  with  great  interest,  and  furnishes  valuable  aid  in  the 
intellectual  training  of  the  student. 

LIBRARY. 

The  University  Library,  though  at  this  time  small,  comprises  some 
valuable  works.  Valuable  additions  will  be  made  from  time  to  time. 
All  students  have  free  access  to  this  Library  free  of  charge. 

MUSIC. 

Special  instruction  in  Vocal  and  Instrumental  Music  will  be  given, 
two  lessons  a week,  by  W.  D.  C.  Botefuhr,  Professor  of  Music,  to  such 
students  as  may  desire  it. 

Tuition,  fifteen  dollars  per  term. 

CONTRIBUTIONS 

are  solicited  for  our  Library,  Reading  Room,  Laboratory  and  Museum. 

Any  book,  paper  or  manuscript  of  historical  or  other  value. 

Any  piece  of  Chemical,  Philosophical  or  Mechanical  apparatus. 

Any  ores,  crystals,  precious  or  valuable  stones,  vegetable  or  animal 
fossils,  or  any  other  thing  that  will  be  a source  of  information  to  our 
students,  will  be  thankfully  received. 

We  hereby  designate  and  request  County  Superintendents  of  Public 
Schools,  to  take  charge  of  and  forward  to  the  University,  by  students 
or  others  who  may  be  coming,  any  of  the  above  named  donations.
